Hybridisation.
A first winter Herring x Glaucous Gull
at the harbour of fishing hot-house Hirtshals on he north western
coast of peninsula Jutland on Sunday March 13. 2005. I have a natural
born weakness for anything carrying a set of light primaries even if
they are not too white, and it's a hybrid, an illegitimate child like
this one hatched out of an egg, carrying genes of two different
species, the product of a hot affair of a Glaucous Gull and a Herring
Gull. |
